Analysis of 900 Mile An Hour Winds
900 Mile An Hour Winds
Sticking my head out of my cosmic window upon the universe, like a dog riding in a car
Feel the Earth washing away beneath our feet, every second of the day, nights included
Waiting for the nine hundred mile an hour winds, to strike me blowing wild in the face
Thunder growls often, drowning on dry land, physical tensions appearing everywhere
Earth, wind, fire and water, life as well, all spinning around, once every twenty four hours
Winds blow out of nowhere, changing the dice, magic zones of the worlds reappear
Inside my mind, whirl winds blowing strong, opening up deepest rifts that never close
When everything is moving at the same speed, nothing appears to be moving at all
Like stepping back and forth on the roofs of two cars, both traveling sixty miles an hour
Illusions disappear, cogs all grinding together, spinning forwards hands of time
Insensitivity demands respect, claims it's the same as reality, but only shortens lifetimes
Time stops, top ten dimensions open up wide, Earth's invisible life lines now visible
A matter of priorities, who is number one, the meek, who got no bodies, eyes nor limbs
Two kinds of ignorance, both demand respect, rhetoric roads, rock infested barren lands
One only respects itself, no place at the table, the other respects others, stifles change
Plans of people like molehills overwhelmed by the infinite varieties of the Natural World
Everything we see is dependent on something else, what we don't see is the foundation
Microbes, lighter than dust, more common than stars, easy to forget, the rulers of Earth
